It is an XL. I guess I cut off the tag but I found the order form to confirm.

I genuinely appreciate you checking, but I'm going to pass. Sorry man. I get the underground is DIY, but I just can't get into those "unedited square picture on a shirt" designs.

Is there a Top X Number Important/Quintessential Albums List for black metal or 'unblack' metal (or jazz, which is what I'm listening to now so I guess it's on my mind) from some authoritative institution (and if there are multiple, which would you recommend)?

Does anyone just occasionally get depressed thinking about the fact that someday they'll die?
Not trying to be a downer--it's just that sometimes I think about this and it really bothers me.

Does anyone just occasionally get depressed thinking about the fact that someday they'll die? I wouldn't say I have depression feelings about that. I do have moments through life where I have this realization that I will die - but my attitude about is different. For one, post cancer, I'm in some degree of agony on a daily basis. That's just my life now, so sometimes I think of death in the context of "Good that will finally be over with". (that, being pain) The other part of that is God's promises to us. I mean, we're not exactly promised cool stuff or awesome things while we're alive on earth - its basically life and living after. Strangely enough, I don't get depressed in regards to daily pain. I still have a sense of gratitude that I'm still alive for one.... for two, I've got relief, so its not like I just have to white knuckle my way through pain always.

Does anyone just occasionally get depressed thinking about the fact that someday they'll die? Not trying to be a downer--it's just that sometimes I think about this and it really bothers me. I learned to confront my mortality by visiting cemeteries and talking to God. The cemeteries don't have any material effect on what happens, they're just a good place to go to think about death and mortality. Take faith in the fact (fact) we have an omnipotent deity watching over us. I don't make an intentional point of doing death-defying things, so if I die tomorrow, it'll be at a perfect time that God appoints according to His infinite and objective wisdom, even though it'll be very inconvenient in my terms. Time is at the mercy of God, not the other way around. The most common thing that saddens people with death is that they'll miss certain people. That's understandable. But as far as I can think right now, every other reason death is connected to negativity, is ultimately based in worldly thinking, which is why it's so important to [metaphorically] kill our flesh now.

Does anyone just occasionally get depressed thinking about the fact that someday they'll die? Not trying to be a downer--it's just that sometimes I think about this and it really bothers me. Here's the thing: us human beings, don't want to deal with real life. Death is one of them. I can see why it bothers you. I have been thinking about death since I was a kid. Seeing death scenes in movies, video games, tv, it did freaked me out. After I grew up, I realize this is a subject we can all relate. The Bible does talk about death; from Genesis to Revelation. It is sad so many are dying daily. Whether it is murder, diseases, natural disasters, accidents, suicide, abortion, miss carriage, it doesn't end. I wish it can. But it won't. Remember we still have breath in our lungs. We are still loved. We continue to love others. Even if it is going to hurt us when their time comes. It will hurt me too. Death is not the end. Heaven awaits us.

Where do you go for Christian metal news? Deus Metallum on Discord. Lots of good news I think, but I can't say for sure, because its not like I use other news outlets? If it weren't for them, I wouldn't know that: - Frost Like Ashes "Fellowship of Suffering" release was postponed to August 13th. - Implacable "These Dark And Shadow Ways" is also releasing August 13th (reminds me a lot of Antestor Martyrium) - Romero - 'The Awakening' had a re-release on Coleiosis Records - Antestor has new song "sketches" in the works, but a number of things are keeping the project "on ice" for now - 'Taking the Head of Goliath' lead singer joined Broken Flesh so Broken Flesh can continue touring I skipped mentioning VoG news because I usually do sort of ok keeping up with that. XD

Frost Like Ashes "Fellowship of Suffering" release !!! All five of those updates are exciting. Deus Metallum on Discord seems useful.

What are your thoughts on Christians getting censored on social media? Will it get worse?

I don't really know what to say. I always hear about Christians getting censored, yet that's never happened to me - not even once.
Are we sure these Christians are actually posting about Christianity, and not about politics thinly veiled as "religion"?

Pretty sure China's 'WeChat' removes church accounts and proclaiming Christians on the spot, but that's not in our neck of the woods. I always hear about Christians getting censored, yet that's never happened to me - not even once. I'm assuming you haven't said anything on your social media to provoke the ire of the elite class in society known as the LGBTQIA+. Granted, that topic is not political (at least it shouldn't be), nor is it even 'religious', but Christians are one of the few people anymore that would claim something like 'boys are different than girls', despite that being 'common knowledge' for most everyone, 20 years ago.
